FRIENDS OF NICH CHARITABLE FOUNDATION (NICH USA) is a US based 501(C)(3) registered
charity to support the efforts of the National Institute of Child Health, Karachi, Pakistan, in achieving
its goal of providing quality healthcare, to the pediatric population of Pakistan, free of cost.

The National Institute of Child Health Karachi is a 500-bed public sector pediatric hospital serving over 1 million patients annually. Some patients come from as far away as Baluchistan, Punjab and KPK. It has the largest infant incubator facility as well as the largest pediatric ER in Pakistan. It is the only hospital providing 24-hour pediatric surgical emergency services to over 5 million children within reach with nearly 1,000 children visiting the OPD daily.

Nearly 50% of the patients are from out of Karachi and have already depleted their resources by the time they reach the hospital. The NICH Trust was established to provide a reliable conduit for donors’ funds to be used in a legal, transparent and effective manner with the primary purpose of helping to alleviate the suffering of the poor that come to the hospital.
All treatment at the NICH is provided FREE OF COST.


Anyone visiting Karachi, Pakistan is invited to come visit the hospital and see for themselves the lifesaving work being done by the frontline healthcare and auxiliary staff at NICH on every day. Your tax-exempt generous donations will help provide the necessary medical supplies to serve the pediatric patients of NICH who otherwise struggle due to inadequate healthcare resources. Your generosity can make a significant difference.
